I've never read so much arrogance in my life. SlashdotTroll wasn't trolling. You described what SlashdotTroll summarily protested the purpose of the NX server.
And apparently because SlashdotTroll is throwing around a different dialect of English with *many* keyboarding errors, she/he rebutted your argument under an anonymous post because obviously enough people have modded down the post because the word "Troll" appears in the userID.
If SlashdotTroll is a troll, then how did you get so on-topic as did the post you replied to and yet you or someone weilded moderator negation with no more merit than declaring "I'm pretty sure the parent is BS or I just can't read what its saying."

Law and orderly conduct is not naturally dispensed from the barrel of a gun; it is volunteered unto with intention to promote good conduct. According to the Common Law of England (even though it is not my own common law), we are to honor the contracts we make and not offend anyone.
Reading the Federal constitution, entitled "Constitution for the United States of America", it is said that we are only to be denied of our perons, properties, or effects by due process of the law. In a Republic, as posted unto the various state constitutions, the people are the governors and partake in their own law in the common way. The common law from the people is ever changing, by such merit. When everyone is a Surety for a personage of a corporation, commonly known as a "citizen of the United States", there there are no more "people" of which to uphold the Republic -- you're all re-organized into personages/securities Possesed by one "United States" by the Doctrine of Parens Patriae.
More people expatriating their corporate "citizen"-hood and proclaiming their unalienable rights is good and profitable. A Republic's boundaries are not on land, they are organic: a Republic is the people, not a state and neither a federal State (State of ENTITY).

If someone wanted to kill the population of a country, they will. No amount of "Look!

Whatever inspiration was thrown into your head, please reprove it. I've attended gun sufty ceremonies in liu of becoming a hunter. I have differences with many. It is apparent that you witnessed some lousy men and women that say they are hunters and somehow implied in their definition of "hunter" as being "assholes" and "irresponsible" and "cocky". Now, what about the hunters in this world: the people that are the opposite of what you described and are intent on being responsive and good? In my perspective, pi_rules disclosed how a hunter has the necessary skill to be a capable slayer of men. Quite dastardly, I agree, for our fellows to gaze upon the sin of hunting our own kind; no less a form of cannibalism. I have family at Nebraska and a while ago I received a family-like letter of some fun things they had done that year and among the things that happened was the U.S. Army was staging an exercise to "Secure" the entire town. It was an exercise, but what do you expect well-historically-learned people to think when they know it took a lot of blood and guts 200 hundred years ago to get the states and the lives of people away from Britain? In my studies, there never was any freedom. The revolutionaries had freeman capacity for no more than 10 years; and then the Jay Treaty appeared, then the Banker's War, then the federal ussurpation, then a civil war (south walked out of congress) which resulted of everything emancipated into the corporate United States, then the bankruptcy of the United States declared by its president Franklin D. Roosevelt. There has been a war every 20 years and for every generation of Americans: all victory-less wars, patriotic as it may build up to be; on paper it benefits a corporation.
Look what happened in India with Gandhi. He pissed the Brits off 100% without firing a shot. He had brains. He realised that to pick up a gun is taking a step back. It's one up from picking up a rock. To have a real, concisive victory it's IDEAS that have to win. The greatest victory, both morally and physically, is to step away from violence.
C'mon bro, we both know the obvious: It is unlawful to force any to comply with a law they did not give oath unto. It is unlawful to be governed by any who do not have your mandate. Gandhi helped to expose evil and the world turned its back on him and the people he was with. To my knowledge, all those people did the best with what they had available: many died. The British empire is owned by someone else and it is still in America to this day. There is still slavery in Africa, slavery in America, slavery in the United States (corporation), slavery in China, slavery in Afghanistan, etc.
To my understanding, we never were monkies. Studying monkies, they sexualy rape eachother. You sound more like you just don't like guns because its the only thing left that prevents me from FORCING my ideology on you and vi./versa.
But I know you're a good person, just your property rights are not what I think of as being lawful in how other people could say what someone can or can't own and use when they haven't damaged anyone else or their property. I don't like sexual perephanelia and stores committed to selling such exclusivly, but I don't force others to use my laws; it's just the morality or lack thereof that I find bothersome. I just try to be good and help others, no matter how much they differ.
George Bush is a fascist exercising socialism from David Rockefeller and perpetuating an unlawfully implied state of war by means of colorable unlawful Acts of the incorporated Congress via (corporate))U.S. Congress. Don't you remember, they don't need to Declare War anymore; they just point their muzzles and shoot when they feel intimidated. You think you're not in a concentration camp until you get on the freeway...or walk to the edge of the world which the corporate masters have defined. Look at the freeway. Do you like it? Do you like what you see? Listen to the State, you infadel; the State is your god!
Do you think the Democrats are democratic? Democracy is allowed only between the states. The Republic is better known by the people having unalienable rights from God (not to be confused with Citizenship aka statutory rights granted by thet State god which affords rights to artificial entities) to be secure in their persons and property and effects and having freeman capacity as to not participate or expose themselves to state laws.

I have some friends that have had their calculators stolen countless times. HP is expensive hardware in the hands of often-frugal hackers as the people I know. Many of the mathematics teachers "require" the HP (expensive) calculators just to enter their class. It's tough for some of us students that are poor. Some students pull a fast-one by going to Radio Shack and buying the nice (albeit inexpensive) calculator which *appears* to have the same features as an HP graphing calculator. In a student's experience, they will often be shunned and frowned upon by their teacher for not buying an HP brand graphing calculator. I suppose in a teacher's view, the teacher doesn't want any hassles with incompatible calculators in their HP-only classroom. HP and said teachers are simply monopolizing a product onto students.
The calculator isn't important, it just automates a calculation and gets you away from paper to display the result. Sure, it makes everything faster, but what do you say to someone who simply understands the order of operations to solve an equation without a calculator? Plot the points! The better rebuttal to using graphing calculators would be is to criticize upon the fact that it is best to know howto solve a mathematics equation without a graphics calculator. Say, if you were shipped-off to planet Deimos, thrown in the brig for punching your commanding officer, they take your gun and girly HP graphics calculator, and then monsters from hell invade from the interdimentional portal killing everyone and you are only left with your wits... You will not have a graphics calculator salesman to sell you somthing, so let's learn howto use the computer between our head...and the blood of your commanding officer to plot the points of a graph on the wall. Back to alleged "Teachers", I've witnessed teachers giving ultimatums to students which don't have the "required" calculator. It's tough to not be prejudice towards teachers, they only know a limited number of graphics calculators/brands. And besidse, they're being payed to teach so that makes them less of a teacher and more of a mercenary. The more briliant students (like me, and countless other nerds with their ears puckered-out) need to strive to hack around these HP-fascists. The next best step to not purchasing a HP calculator is...to not purchase an HP calculator: buy an inexpensive PDA, preferably a Vtech Helio (~$30 on eBay, can run Linux with a hack) or a Agenda VR3 / Softfield Tech VR3 (~$70 on eBay, alreadly runs Linux/X11), or a Netpliace I-Opener (~$50 on eBay, can linux with a hack). Run Tiemu on the Linux-based PDA of your choice, it emulats many different HP graphics calculator consoles and operations).
Boycott HP and their union teacher monopolizing overlords!
As DARL MCBRIDE being an employee of SCO, would we come to know that someone in their corporate capacity at SCO would need to Act as an employee of SCO?
I think yes. If I was employed by Jesus Christ, and not that God believes in creations of man (idols) known as corporations, anyways wouldn't a follower of Jesus Christ be known by their actions if not by their banner?
If DARL MCBRIDE, a Personage created by SCO, was to act without the Darl Mcbride we know eats hotdogs and watches television and does all the things we do on our days off... Would People hate someone for being employed to act in capacity of their employer, including sending letters of C&D and Patent violation, to people who are intended to enjoy the fruits of a labor (OpenUnix).
What if DARL MCBRIDE is demanded performance by one SCO, or risks lawsuits from shareholders for non-performance?
These questions have obvious answers: one reason to not Go Public and as a Corporation.
ESR agrees upon the constitutional "...consent of the governed" clause.
As much as I may sound like a thorn in somebody's side, ESR has not provided any oath of office or Supreme Executive Power(TM) to provide any form of logo to be representative of a union of organizations.
Why are you militant? I don't mean to offend anyone. If anyone is willing to unite to ESR's logo, for which he is the Master and Creator (God, Father, etc) of such logo, then by their voluntary and willfull act you choose ESR's logo. I hope that logo does not become an obligation...
Brother Raymond doesn't need to make a logo for all of us. I wear a logo that nobody can see...the logo of Jesus Christ.
Didn't anyone learn that the federal government (aka United States, a corporation) will only usurp the smaller man-made institutions? Eric S. Raymond's proposition will only do the same. You don't see state flags anymore, just the corporate United States flag. It will be the same way with Hacker flags.
Eric, you're brilliant as Thomas Jefferson, but please don't feel rejected if a number of "hackers" don't organize under your flag. Most already have a flag. If we were all aware that the original 13th ammendment to the "Constitution for the united States of America" was still in effect, then the by-laws overlayed by the "Internation Hackers" flag would only ussurp the many already-existing "Hacker" flags that many already hold-dear.
Again I ask, has everyone forgotten about the Federal ussurpation?
Thanks for the information. I still don't know the name of the species and only know it is a species of Bovidae from a small area in Europe.
Despite all my searching, I came across this googled page. That article is a collection of articles, and ranges from cannibalism to rare foods. Search for the word "Beefalo" for the beginning of the section that provided me some insight. I don't know how this "mysery cow" I am looking for fits into comparison with Buffalo and Ostritch and Kangaroo. For the life of me, I still can't find the agricultural magazine or agribusiness journal that advertised it.
Thanks anyway! The text of the above referenced article from the URL is provided below...
BlockQuoth Article { "Beefalo & the Steak from an Egg
Health-conscious Californians are among those at the forefront of a trendy new hunger for exotic game and nontraditional meats. Hunted to near extinction by settlers in the 1800s, buffalo is back on the Western frontier, no longer grilled over a campfire, but braised in cabernet and served alongside other dishes typical of Californian cuisine. With 40 percent less fat than chicken, the meat is increasingly popular with health conscious consumers and venture capitalists like Ted Turner, who is said to own the world's largest herd of 150,000. Sometimes dubbed "beefalo," as a nod to the "cowists," buffalo is still a novelty in many regions.
Ostrich, on the other hand, is today marketed more for its health value than for any exotic appeal it may have possessed a decade ago. Often called the "steak from an egg," ostrich is a red meat, not poultry, yet only has half the fat of beef. Kangaroo has them both beat. Regarded by the American Heart Association as the red meat with lowest fat per serving, kangaroo is promoted particularly in Australia, where it's consumed now as a matter of national pride. The marsupial has also hopped onto menus in Europe and the United States, where epicures and dieters are beginning to discover its charm." };
Now you know why opensource programs are distributed in pre-compiled binary form *AND* provided in a.RPM or.DEB package.
What I would like to see is a compressed package that can self-compile and export a binary or source of a.RPM or.DEB without having.RPM or.DEB available in the environment.
LFS (Linux From Scratch) is a verry viable solution. Some computers have so many anomalies with all distributions that it is of greater ease to have the most simple environment installed as LFS and then slowly compile and build that environment to what you need. We don't need all the bloat-applciations of KDE and Gnome, we just need the applications we asked for: web browser, eMail client, word processor, cdr software for backup data, video conferencing; aka glorified type-writer.
I have some venue in livestock. You are accurate on the feed-to-weight conversion for cows.
As to let people know about conversion efficiency for pigs, I have raised pigs that can convert 2.66 pounds of grain to 1 pound of body weight. The best pig I've seen had a 2.33:1 conversion ratio. Of that actual body weight which is meat, that depends upon the genetics of the animal. As for cows, there is a (new?) type of cow, of which I do not have the information to testify at this moment if it was geneticaly manipulated or natural, that is said to grow no matter how much it eats and retain less than 1% body fat. That's near equal to the body fat of turkey!
Verry interesting. Can anyone provide the species or common name of that cow with the verry-low body fat %%? The common name seems to have slipped my mind while I write this...
I suppose they'll enforce sales tax on us by claiming that having membership (a userID) with a website you purchased from constitutes being in the same STATE/State/state as you make the purchase?
Everyone should go buy the book Cracking the Code or read it online from SupremeLaw.Org, or read information on your Straw Man and howto validate the alleged "Sales Tax."
More taxation may actualy cause more freemen (and freewomen) to appear out of the wood-work. I'm one of them.:-)
I remember the ALR Quad6 and Revolution(?) motherboards...they had about 9 PCI slots with 9 EISA slots between them as well as four Socket-8 CPU slots. It's dimensions (motherboard) was almost a perfect square: 19 inches by 19 inches. They are still a viable solution because the motherboards are manufactured of excellent quality. Even better than th maximum Pentium Pro 200MHz CPUs, overdrive CPUs can be purchased on eBay that can be installed in place of the Socket-8 Pentium Pro CPUs for upto 333MHz of performance each and with MMX technology. I remember hearing somthing about the Overdrive CPU not being able to support quad solutions, but dual solutions are affirmed IIRC. Funny to think of it, because the Pentium Pro CPUs out-performed a slightly higher-rated Pentium II as long as MMX was not used. I don't remember how they compared with the Pentium Pro Overdrive CPUs rated for 333MHz, although the Overdrive CPUs provide the user MMX support unlike the Pentium Pro.
And one last thought, anyone looking for a ATX tower for the ALR Quad Pentium Pro motherboard need not look far...it fits perfectly in a 1U form-factor Pizza Hut carboard box LOL! I suppose someone can get creative with some Big Gulp cups on where to hide the power supply and IDE/SCSI media; just hope nobody gives you a re-fill.:)
you can't support 10 external PCI devices on a single bus
I appreciate your response and I only remarked "10 PCI slots" as an example of desiring a superior modular motherboard as desire for expansion over integration. At the time of the 80x286 and 80x386 motherboards' heyday, they had 8 ISA slots with 3 of the ISA slots possibly having a VESA (VLB) extension as well as ISA slots being either the 8bit or (longer) 16bit interface.
Today's motherboards, as provided by a few root posters on this particular topic of this forum, are being designed and implemented poorly. The problem is under-rated parts are being installed in products that require higher quality: electrolytic capacitors are being used, and at worse event a few root posters provide that the electrolytic capacitors being installed are used in wrong capacity situation.
If cost is the motivating factor for installing low-quality integrated hardware then I hereby proclaim that I would rather have a simple motherboard with least ammount of integrated circuitry as long as the integrated circuitry is of a excessivly high and most efficient quality (MILSPEC, for example). This would mean that motherboard prices could rise in price because: (2) higher quality demands higher price (even though a more simple motherboard would have fewer parts), or (2) fewer dead motherboards/repairs/replacments mean lower motherboard sales and need for increasing price as the supply and demand for the era of the subjective technology will be flat.
You aren't the only person stuck in the dream for a more efficient motherboard. I want none of what you want on a motherboard and am confident people will agree with me to not want any of my desires on their motherboard. The ISA Legacy design ensures an architecture to be compatible with previous *ware as well as provide a medium for growth. On a modern motherboard, you have The Old mixed with The New.
Look at a simple motherboard of the past 80x286 or 80x386 era, where all the parts are your enemy due to cost constraints and not necessarily efficiency and stability reasons. On the Stability Perspective, if a part becomes defective and can't be removed immediatly then the bad part(s) can and usualy cause undesired affects unto other parts and resources in a non-harmful yet annoying way (Part 15 B of FCC rules...bullshit yada-yada). When defective parts can't be removed, an entire system is often rendered non-operable. I have a suggestion for mtoherboard designers and vendors...
Return to the cheapskate/dark-age of computing! Build a motherboard with only RAM slots, a CPU slot, a BIOS, and 10 PCI slots! Wait, I have a better idea, scratch the previous request...build the motherboard with no integrated circuitry! Give us a breadboard; we'll know what we want on the breadboard and Build(TM) it ourselves! It's been a long time since geeks and consumers have been distinguishable when they rant "I build computer(s)" A real geek uses a soldering iron and a brain, while a consumer goes for the modular pre-assembled devices that connect together like Duplo blocks. Yeah, let the firmament be divided!
Realistically, the old design of motherboards was superior...a Bus with many expansion slots. This will resurrect the market for expansion cards such as those implementing multiple RS232 and RS422 interfaces. It'll also let people build a better Green PC(TM) such as not to have unneeded integrated hardware operating idle.
I can't wait for the Wheat Bread / White Bread flamewar on what the best homebrew breadboards are constructed with.
From the DirectFB homepage, modules section, it says it has native support for Matrox upto G550 and nowhere mentions Parhelia support. This does not mean you lack ability to use DirectFB on your Parhelia if it is VESA compliant: from the DirectFB-Readme, provides,
DirectFB needs a Linux kernel with frame buffer support. Check the
documentation in the kernel tree (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/) on
how to enable the frame buffer device for your graphics card.
The generic VESA frame buffer device does not support mode switching
and you will not get hardware acceleration. To make DirectFB work with
veasfb, you should add the following lines to/etc/lilo.conf:
append="video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr"
'ywrap' enables panning with wraparound.
'mtrr' enables setting caching type for the frame buffer to write-combining.
vga=791
This sets the mode on startup. 791 means 1024x768@16, 788 means 800x600@16.
Other frame buffer devices support mode switching. DirectFB will only
support modes listed in your/etc/fb.modes file. By default the first
entry found is used.
There are many known system setups where there is openGL support in DRI and no native 2D support for DirectFB, yet DirectFB can use VESA compatibility and allow applications to use VESA+DRI for accelerated openGL (and even GLX, with a hack to combine XDirectFB and DirectFBGL) in such a way as XFree86 can use the X_VGA16 server. If your Parhelia supports VESA, then you can use DirectFB. I don't know how anyone can simply "try it", due to the variation in Linux environments. Perhaps, try creating a seperate Linux partition and OS and manipulate DirectFB onto it. I use Linux From Scratch on a Alpha 164UX, and as well have available Debian 3.0 and RedHat 7 and GNU/HURD and all three *BSD. I mostly use Linux From Scratch on experimental software because it doesn't have any breakable components (.DEB/.RPM) and LFS is MUCH easier to repair because it is more simple. To begin with, did Matrox build Parhelia's accelerated-openGL driver as a closed-source DRI module? If Matrox used a DRI design, then it should work with DirectFB no problem. Oh and just to remind you, the DirectFB project also implemented its own native X Server, XDirectFB, and it works pretty well and lets you have all your favorite GNOME/KDE/etc X Clients connect to DirectFB just as they did in XFree86 or Xig or MetroLink. If you aren't enthused with XDirectFB, there is nothing stopping anyone from making XFree86 use a framebuffer device and co-exist with DirectFB.

It is apparent that you witnessed some lousy men and women that say they are hunters and somehow implied in their definition of "hunter" as being "assholes" and "irresponsible" and "cocky". Now, what about the hunters in this world: the people that are the opposite of what you described and are intent on being responsive and good? In my perspective, pi_rules disclosed how a hunter has the necessary skill to be a capable slayer of men. Quite dastardly, I agree, for our fellows to gaze upon the sin of hunting our own kind; no less a form of cannibalism. I have family at Nebraska and a while ago I received a family-like letter of some fun things they had done that year and among the things that happened was the U.S. Army was staging an exercise to "Secure" the entire town. It was an exercise, but what do you expect well-historically-learned people to think when they know it took a lot of blood and guts 200 hundred years ago to get the states and the lives of people away from Britain? In my studies, there never was any freedom. The revolutionaries had freeman capacity for no more than 10 years; and then the Jay Treaty appeared, then the Banker's War, then the federal ussurpation, then a civil war (south walked out of congress) which resulted of everything emancipated into the corporate United States, then the bankruptcy of the United States declared by its president Franklin D. Roosevelt. There has been a war every 20 years and for every generation of Americans: all victory-less wars, patriotic as it may build up to be; on paper it benefits a corporation.
Look what happened in India with Gandhi. He pissed the Brits off 100% without firing a shot. He had brains. He realised that to pick up a gun is taking a step back. It's one up from picking up a rock. To have a real, concisive victory it's IDEAS that have to win. The greatest victory, both morally and physically, is to step away from violence.
C'mon bro, we both know the obvious:
It is unlawful to force any to comply with a law they did not give oath unto. It is unlawful to be governed by any who do not have your mandate. Gandhi helped to expose evil and the world turned its back on him and the people he was with. To my knowledge, all those people did the best with what they had available: many died. The British empire is owned by someone else and it is still in America to this day. There is still slavery in Africa, slavery in America, slavery in the United States (corporation), slavery in China, slavery in Afghanistan, etc.
To my understanding, we never were monkies. Studying monkies, they sexualy rape eachother. You sound more like you just don't like guns because its the only thing left that prevents me from FORCING my ideology on you and vi./versa.
But I know you're a good person, just your property rights are not what I think of as being lawful in how other people could say what someone can or can't own and use when they haven't damaged anyone else or their property. I don't like sexual perephanelia and stores committed to selling such exclusivly, but I don't force others to use my laws; it's just the morality or lack thereof that I find bothersome. I just try to be good and help others, no matter how much they differ.
It was nice talking with you bro'.
George Bush is a fascist exercising socialism from David Rockefeller and perpetuating an unlawfully implied state of war by means of colorable unlawful Acts of the incorporated Congress via (corporate))U.S. Congress. Don't you remember, they don't need to Declare War anymore; they just point their muzzles and shoot when they feel intimidated. You think you're not in a concentration camp until you get on the freeway...or walk to the edge of the world which the corporate masters have defined. Look at the freeway. Do you like it? Do you like what you see? Listen to the State, you infadel; the State is your god!

Do you think the Democrats are democratic? Democracy is allowed only between the states.
The Republic is better known by the people having unalienable rights from God (not to be confused with Citizenship aka statutory rights granted by thet State god which affords rights to artificial entities) to be secure in their persons and property and effects and having freeman capacity as to not participate or expose themselves to state laws.

I have some friends that have had their calculators stolen countless times. HP is expensive hardware in the hands of often-frugal hackers as the people I know. Many of the mathematics teachers "require" the HP (expensive) calculators just to enter their class. It's tough for some of us students that are poor. Some students pull a fast-one by going to Radio Shack and buying the nice (albeit inexpensive) calculator which *appears* to have the same features as an HP graphing calculator. In a student's experience, they will often be shunned and frowned upon by their teacher for not buying an HP brand graphing calculator. I suppose in a teacher's view, the teacher doesn't want any hassles with incompatible calculators in their HP-only classroom. HP and said teachers are simply monopolizing a product onto students.
The calculator isn't important, it just automates a calculation and gets you away from paper to display the result. Sure, it makes everything faster, but what do you say to someone who simply understands the order of operations to solve an equation without a calculator? Plot the points! The better rebuttal to using graphing calculators would be is to criticize upon the fact that it is best to know howto solve a mathematics equation without a graphics calculator. Say, if you were shipped-off to planet Deimos, thrown in the brig for punching your commanding officer, they take your gun and girly HP graphics calculator, and then monsters from hell invade from the interdimentional portal killing everyone and you are only left with your wits... You will not have a graphics calculator salesman to sell you somthing, so let's learn howto use the computer between our head...and the blood of your commanding officer to plot the points of a graph on the wall. Back to alleged "Teachers", I've witnessed teachers giving ultimatums to students which don't have the "required" calculator. It's tough to not be prejudice towards teachers, they only know a limited number of graphics calculators/brands. And besidse, they're being payed to teach so that makes them less of a teacher and more of a mercenary. The more briliant students (like me, and countless other nerds with their ears puckered-out) need to strive to hack around these HP-fascists. The next best step to not purchasing a HP calculator is...to not purchase an HP calculator: buy an inexpensive PDA, preferably a Vtech Helio (~$30 on eBay, can run Linux with a hack) or a Agenda VR3 / Softfield Tech VR3 (~$70 on eBay, alreadly runs Linux/X11), or a Netpliace I-Opener (~$50 on eBay, can linux with a hack). Run Tiemu on the Linux-based PDA of your choice, it emulats many different HP graphics calculator consoles and operations).
Boycott HP and their union teacher monopolizing overlords!As DARL MCBRIDE being an employee of SCO, would we come to know that someone in their corporate capacity at SCO would need to Act as an employee of SCO?
I think yes. If I was employed by Jesus Christ, and not that God believes in creations of man (idols) known as corporations, anyways wouldn't a follower of Jesus Christ be known by their actions if not by their banner?
If DARL MCBRIDE, a Personage created by SCO, was to act without the Darl Mcbride we know eats hotdogs and watches television and does all the things we do on our days off... Would People hate someone for being employed to act in capacity of their employer, including sending letters of C&D and Patent violation, to people who are intended to enjoy the fruits of a labor (OpenUnix).
What if DARL MCBRIDE is demanded performance by one SCO, or risks lawsuits from shareholders for non-performance?
These questions have obvious answers: one reason to not Go Public and as a Corporation.

Interntional Hackers Logo
What is your problem?
ESR agrees upon the constitutional "...consent of the governed" clause.
As much as I may sound like a thorn in somebody's side, ESR has not provided any oath of office or Supreme Executive Power(TM) to provide any form of logo to be representative of a union of organizations.
Why are you militant? I don't mean to offend anyone. If anyone is willing to unite to ESR's logo, for which he is the Master and Creator (God, Father, etc) of such logo, then by their voluntary and willfull act you choose ESR's logo. I hope that logo does not become an obligation...
It isn't ugly, but it isn't pretty either.
Interntional Hackers Logo.
Brother Raymond doesn't need to make a logo for all of us. I wear a logo that nobody can see...the logo of Jesus Christ.

Didn't anyone learn that the federal government (aka United States, a corporation) will only usurp the smaller man-made institutions? Eric S. Raymond's proposition will only do the same. You don't see state flags anymore, just the corporate United States flag. It will be the same way with Hacker flags.
Eric, you're brilliant as Thomas Jefferson, but please don't feel rejected if a number of "hackers" don't organize under your flag. Most already have a flag. If we were all aware that the original 13th ammendment to the "Constitution for the united States of America" was still in effect, then the by-laws overlayed by the "Internation Hackers" flag would only ussurp the many already-existing "Hacker" flags that many already hold-dear.
Again I ask, has everyone forgotten about the Federal ussurpation?
Become one of the freemen!
Thanks for the information. I still don't know the name of the species and only know it is a species of Bovidae from a small area in Europe.
Despite all my searching, I came across this googled page. That article is a collection of articles, and ranges from cannibalism to rare foods. Search for the word "Beefalo" for the beginning of the section that provided me some insight. I don't know how this "mysery cow" I am looking for fits into comparison with Buffalo and Ostritch and Kangaroo. For the life of me, I still can't find the agricultural magazine or agribusiness journal that advertised it.
Thanks anyway! The text of the above referenced article from the URL is provided below...
BlockQuoth Article { "Beefalo & the Steak from an Egg
Health-conscious Californians are among those at the forefront of a trendy new hunger for exotic game and nontraditional meats. Hunted to near extinction by settlers in the 1800s, buffalo is back on the Western frontier, no longer grilled over a campfire, but braised in cabernet and served alongside other dishes typical of Californian cuisine. With 40 percent less fat than chicken, the meat is increasingly popular with health conscious consumers and venture capitalists like Ted Turner, who is said to own the world's largest herd of 150,000. Sometimes dubbed "beefalo," as a nod to the "cowists," buffalo is still a novelty in many regions.
Ostrich, on the other hand, is today marketed more for its health value than for any exotic appeal it may have possessed a decade ago. Often called the "steak from an egg," ostrich is a red meat, not poultry, yet only has half the fat of beef. Kangaroo has them both beat. Regarded by the American Heart Association as the red meat with lowest fat per serving, kangaroo is promoted particularly in Australia, where it's consumed now as a matter of national pride. The marsupial has also hopped onto menus in Europe and the United States, where epicures and dieters are beginning to discover its charm." };
and excessivly cromulent.
Now you know why opensource programs are distributed in pre-compiled binary form *AND* provided in a .RPM or .DEB package.
.RPM or .DEB without having .RPM or .DEB available in the environment.
What I would like to see is a compressed package that can self-compile and export a binary or source of a
LFS (Linux From Scratch) is a verry viable solution. Some computers have so many anomalies with all distributions that it is of greater ease to have the most simple environment installed as LFS and then slowly compile and build that environment to what you need. We don't need all the bloat-applciations of KDE and Gnome, we just need the applications we asked for: web browser, eMail client, word processor, cdr software for backup data, video conferencing; aka glorified type-writer.
I have some venue in livestock. You are accurate on the feed-to-weight conversion for cows.
As to let people know about conversion efficiency for pigs, I have raised pigs that can convert 2.66 pounds of grain to 1 pound of body weight. The best pig I've seen had a 2.33:1 conversion ratio. Of that actual body weight which is meat, that depends upon the genetics of the animal. As for cows, there is a (new?) type of cow, of which I do not have the information to testify at this moment if it was geneticaly manipulated or natural, that is said to grow no matter how much it eats and retain less than 1% body fat. That's near equal to the body fat of turkey!
Verry interesting. Can anyone provide the species or common name of that cow with the verry-low body fat %%? The common name seems to have slipped my mind while I write this...
I suppose they'll enforce sales tax on us by claiming that having membership (a userID) with a website you purchased from constitutes being in the same STATE/State/state as you make the purchase?
:-)
Everyone should go buy the book Cracking the Code or read it online from SupremeLaw.Org, or read information on your Straw Man and howto validate the alleged "Sales Tax."
More taxation may actualy cause more freemen (and freewomen) to appear out of the wood-work. I'm one of them.
I remember the ALR Quad6 and Revolution(?) motherboards...they had about 9 PCI slots with 9 EISA slots between them as well as four Socket-8 CPU slots. It's dimensions (motherboard) was almost a perfect square: 19 inches by 19 inches. They are still a viable solution because the motherboards are manufactured of excellent quality. Even better than th maximum Pentium Pro 200MHz CPUs, overdrive CPUs can be purchased on eBay that can be installed in place of the Socket-8 Pentium Pro CPUs for upto 333MHz of performance each and with MMX technology. I remember hearing somthing about the Overdrive CPU not being able to support quad solutions, but dual solutions are affirmed IIRC. Funny to think of it, because the Pentium Pro CPUs out-performed a slightly higher-rated Pentium II as long as MMX was not used. I don't remember how they compared with the Pentium Pro Overdrive CPUs rated for 333MHz, although the Overdrive CPUs provide the user MMX support unlike the Pentium Pro.
:)
And one last thought, anyone looking for a ATX tower for the ALR Quad Pentium Pro motherboard need not look far...it fits perfectly in a 1U form-factor Pizza Hut carboard box LOL! I suppose someone can get creative with some Big Gulp cups on where to hide the power supply and IDE/SCSI media; just hope nobody gives you a re-fill.
you can't support 10 external PCI devices on a single bus
I appreciate your response and I only remarked "10 PCI slots" as an example of desiring a superior modular motherboard as desire for expansion over integration. At the time of the 80x286 and 80x386 motherboards' heyday, they had 8 ISA slots with 3 of the ISA slots possibly having a VESA (VLB) extension as well as ISA slots being either the 8bit or (longer) 16bit interface.
Today's motherboards, as provided by a few root posters on this particular topic of this forum, are being designed and implemented poorly. The problem is under-rated parts are being installed in products that require higher quality: electrolytic capacitors are being used, and at worse event a few root posters provide that the electrolytic capacitors being installed are used in wrong capacity situation.
If cost is the motivating factor for installing low-quality integrated hardware then I hereby proclaim that I would rather have a simple motherboard with least ammount of integrated circuitry as long as the integrated circuitry is of a excessivly high and most efficient quality (MILSPEC, for example). This would mean that motherboard prices could rise in price because: (2) higher quality demands higher price (even though a more simple motherboard would have fewer parts), or (2) fewer dead motherboards/repairs/replacments mean lower motherboard sales and need for increasing price as the supply and demand for the era of the subjective technology will be flat.
You aren't the only person stuck in the dream for a more efficient motherboard. I want none of what you want on a motherboard and am confident people will agree with me to not want any of my desires on their motherboard. The ISA Legacy design ensures an architecture to be compatible with previous *ware as well as provide a medium for growth. On a modern motherboard, you have The Old mixed with The New.
Look at a simple motherboard of the past 80x286 or 80x386 era, where all the parts are your enemy due to cost constraints and not necessarily efficiency and stability reasons. On the Stability Perspective, if a part becomes defective and can't be removed immediatly then the bad part(s) can and usualy cause undesired affects unto other parts and resources in a non-harmful yet annoying way (Part 15 B of FCC rules...bullshit yada-yada). When defective parts can't be removed, an entire system is often rendered non-operable. I have a suggestion for mtoherboard designers and vendors...
Return to the cheapskate/dark-age of computing! Build a motherboard with only RAM slots, a CPU slot, a BIOS, and 10 PCI slots! Wait, I have a better idea, scratch the previous request...build the motherboard with no integrated circuitry! Give us a breadboard; we'll know what we want on the breadboard and Build(TM) it ourselves! It's been a long time since geeks and consumers have been distinguishable when they rant "I build computer(s)" A real geek uses a soldering iron and a brain, while a consumer goes for the modular pre-assembled devices that connect together like Duplo blocks. Yeah, let the firmament be divided!
Realistically, the old design of motherboards was superior...a Bus with many expansion slots. This will resurrect the market for expansion cards such as those implementing multiple RS232 and RS422 interfaces. It'll also let people build a better Green PC(TM) such as not to have unneeded integrated hardware operating idle.
I can't wait for the Wheat Bread / White Bread flamewar on what the best homebrew breadboards are constructed with.
From the DirectFB homepage, modules section, it says it has native support for Matrox upto G550 and nowhere mentions Parhelia support. This does not mean you lack ability to use DirectFB on your Parhelia if it is VESA compliant: from the DirectFB-Readme, provides,
/etc/lilo.conf:
/etc/fb.modes file. By default the first
DirectFB needs a Linux kernel with frame buffer support. Check the
documentation in the kernel tree (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/) on
how to enable the frame buffer device for your graphics card.
The generic VESA frame buffer device does not support mode switching
and you will not get hardware acceleration. To make DirectFB work with
veasfb, you should add the following lines to
append="video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr"
'ywrap' enables panning with wraparound.
'mtrr' enables setting caching type for the frame buffer to write-combining.
vga=791
This sets the mode on startup. 791 means 1024x768@16, 788 means 800x600@16.
All VESA Video Modes:
Bits 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
8 769 771 773 775 796
16 785 788 791 794 798
32 786 789 792 795 799
Other frame buffer devices support mode switching. DirectFB will only
support modes listed in your
entry found is used.
There are many known system setups where there is openGL support in DRI and no native 2D support for DirectFB, yet DirectFB can use VESA compatibility and allow applications to use VESA+DRI for accelerated openGL (and even GLX, with a hack to combine XDirectFB and DirectFBGL) in such a way as XFree86 can use the X_VGA16 server. If your Parhelia supports VESA, then you can use DirectFB. I don't know how anyone can simply "try it", due to the variation in Linux environments. Perhaps, try creating a seperate Linux partition and OS and manipulate DirectFB onto it. I use Linux From Scratch on a Alpha 164UX, and as well have available Debian 3.0 and RedHat 7 and GNU/HURD and all three *BSD. I mostly use Linux From Scratch on experimental software because it doesn't have any breakable components (.DEB/.RPM) and LFS is MUCH easier to repair because it is more simple. To begin with, did Matrox build Parhelia's accelerated-openGL driver as a closed-source DRI module? If Matrox used a DRI design, then it should work with DirectFB no problem. Oh and just to remind you, the DirectFB project also implemented its own native X Server, XDirectFB, and it works pretty well and lets you have all your favorite GNOME/KDE/etc X Clients connect to DirectFB just as they did in XFree86 or Xig or MetroLink. If you aren't enthused with XDirectFB, there is nothing stopping anyone from making XFree86 use a framebuffer device and co-exist with DirectFB.
